TWELVE HUNDRED HOMELESS
Through an IncendIary Fire at Ciaren
don. Pa.

Through an Incendlary Fire at Clareh.
don, Pa.
PITTsBURG, July G.-An Erie special to
The Leader says: Meager reports from
Clarendon, Pa, are that the terrible fire OK
perienced there Monday night broke out
simultaneously in two different places The
local fire department was unable to cope
with the flames, and by the time assistance
arrived the waterworks was in ruins and the
engines We're unable to go into service. The
entire town was destroyed, and at this time
1t is impossible to give a list OF the losses
more than to estimate than there arc 200
people homeless and over 800 buildings
burned.
Relief trains are running to Clarendon, as
the people are without food and have not
the means to procure II. Hundreds escaped
in their night clothes and have taken refuge
in the hills One man, unknown, was burned
to death in Munn's feed store. But few Of
the buildings of the town were saved. Fifty
derricks and over 100 oil tanks were burned
All telegraph communication is cut off. All
the people that can are leaving by train for
places OF safety.
Later-John Stewart was caught in the
bursting of tank and was cremated. 1t is
feared that many have shared n similar fate.
All the business part of the town has been
destroyed, and at o'clock yesterday morning
Henry's hotel was burning. The buildings
being of pine and hemlock burned like tim
der. The greatest excitement prevails. The
valley is full of fire and seething oil, and the
people, becoming panic stricken, fed to the
hillsides for safety.
1t is now well established that the fire was
of incendiary origin. Public rumor at
Clarendon says that two weeks ago, when
liquor licenses were refused to all applicants
in Warren county, Mahoney, proprietor OF
the Weaver hotel, threatened to fire the
town IL the decision Of the court was not re-
versed in two weeks. Yesterday morning,
after the fire burned out, the citizens looked
about for Mahoney, but he was not to be
found A warrant charging him with arson
was sworn out and searching parties secured
the surrounding country TO apprehend
him. He was found hiding in the woods six
miles from Clarendon, and, because lynch
ing was feared, he was taken to the Warren
jail. A charred skeleton was found in one
of the rooms of the hotel, and It is supposed
to be that of hack driver named Sullivan,
who is missing. He was seen about the
hotel early in the evening drunk.
The coufiagration started in the Snow
planning mill, and also in the Weaver hotel,
both fires breaking out at about the same
time. Owing to the high wind the two fires
soon got beyond the control of the firemen.
Engines arrived from Warren in time to be
of some service, but the only valuable build
ing in the town saved was the Philadelphia
and Erie depot. The loss is estimated at
$500, 600; insurance small

PIrrsnuRG, July 6.--About $50 of Pinker-
toms men arrived from the east and west yes
terday morning and took early trains for the
coke regions. They were heavily armed and
fully prepared for a long siege. Over 100
came from Chicago and about forty from
Philadelphia. The party is in charge of Su-
perintendent Linden, of the latter city. 1t
is said that 200 more will arrive here within
the next twenty-fou hours and that 500 of
them are expected in the region before the
close of the week. The coke operators have
determined to resume operations, and the de-
tectives will be distributed about throughout
the region to protect any of the old employees
who desire TO go back to work at the old
wages

Prof. Ioisette's Memory Discovery.

No doubt can be entertained about the
value and genuineness Of Prof. Loisette's
Memory System as it is SO strongly recon-
mended by Mark Twain, Mr.. r. PROCTOR
Hons. w. w. Astor, Judah P. Benjamin,
DR.. Buckley, and others. For full details
we advise our readers to send for Prof. LIS
prospectus, at 237 Fifth Avenue, New
York. From it we learn that the System
is taught by correspondence quite as well
as by personal instruction. Still we note
that colleges near New York have secured
his lectures. He has had 100 Columbia
Law students, two classes Of 200 each at
Yale, 200 at Meriden, $50 at Norwich, 400
at Wellesley College, and 400 at Universe
ty of Penn. We cannot conceive how a
system could receive any higher endorse
ment.

AT Grafton, w. Va, Causes Damage to
the Amount of 100000.
GRAFTON, w. Va, July 6--The most de-
structive fire that ever visited the town broke
out here yesterday morning about o'clock.
An alarm was sounded and the citizens re-
sponded quickly, but the flames already had
full possession of the wooden buildings, filled
with infiammable material, and without fire
apparatus the efforts of the people to stay the
devouring element were useless, and nearly
everybody went to work removing the goods
from stores and houses, and furniture of the
occupants of the dwelling houses and hotels
that were inevitably doomed. The fire con-
tinued to rage for three hours, and was not
gotten under control before three of the
largest hotels of the town, two furniture
houses, thirty-two other business rooms, such
as drug stores, millinery, tobacconists, mo-
tions, ETC., including the Standard Enter
prise printing Office and the book office of the
state supreme court printer, were destroyed

NEW YoRK, July 6.--Archbishop Corrigan
has not yet received any word from Rome
concerning the formal accommodation OF
Father McGlynn, which was reported yes
terday In cable dispatch from Rome.
Although the evening papers last night con
tanned alleged interviews with the arch
bishop and his secretary, the Rev. DR.. Nc
Donald, they both deny having spoken to re-
poiters on the matter. Father Mcdonald
gave instructions at the palace yesterday that
all newspaper mon who called to inquire CON
cerning the report should be informed that
Archbishop Corrigan knew nothing about
the matter except what he read in the papers.

morning of July 4. 1t was the most brutal
contest in the history of the ying. The con-

young, powerful men employed as miners,
but have not worked at their occupation for
three months, having been in training for the
fight Ssventy-one rounds were fought, last
ing one hour and thirty-fve minutes. Both
men were battered out of all shape. Harley
had several ribs broken in the sixty
round. Hoar was SO badly cut in the face
that the wounds had to be stitched. The
fight was then resumed. When the seventy
second round was called one of Hoars eyes
was bulging out and he exclaimed, 81 can't
